Sweet as Sugar Watermelon Tattoos

Unlike other fruits such as kiwifruit, watermelons are not a recent introduction to most countries. The fruit originated in Africa, but their cultivation elsewhere in the world began well over 1000 years ago. Watermelons were brought to India, then China and Spain, before making their way to other areas of Europe and then North America.

Generally it is the flesh of the watermelon that we eat, but the seeds are consumed during New Year celebrations in both Chinese and Vietnamese cultures.

Did you know? It takes 100 days (or longer) for the plant to produce mature watermelons. Fortunately for us, it will take only a fraction of that time for your tattoo artist to produce a watermelon tattoo for you.

When it comes to your watermelon design you can have plenty of fun with the shape of the fruit (square, rectangle, or naturally round or oval), have a slice with some additional elements, take a bite out of it, or add a cute facial expression for a kawaii twist. What will you do to make your watermelon tattoo super sweet?
